A path towards better cancer drugs: Modeling interactions between antimitotic agents and tubulin
DownloadFall 2015
Antimitotic agents, a class of cancer chemotherapies, target the tubulin protein in microtubules to suppress microtubule dynamics and affect the segregation of chromosomes during cell division. A variety of antimitotic agents are known, which range in status from clinically-approved agents to...

Computational Study of the Rare Gas Fluorohydrides, Cyanohydrides, and Isocyanohydrides: Structures, Reactions, and Electronic Spectra
DownloadFall 2020
Little work on the electronic excited states of the family of HRgY (where Rg = rare gas and Y = electronegative group) compounds exist. There are two problems that are studied. The first is work aimed at extending the HRgY excited state area of research to include more work done on the electronic...

Interstellar Germanium Dust Molecules: a Computational Study on Their Structure, Spectroscopy, and Detectability; or, One Small Step Down the Periodic Table, One Giant Leap in Interstellar Chemistry
DownloadFall 2024
Alongside observational and experimental work, theoretical and computational research is just as vital to understanding the chemical composition of space. Although more molecules continue to be discovered in space, the molecular structures in which many of the elements in the periodic table exist...

Fall 2014
The chemistry of radon is best understood in the context of the periodic relationship between radon and its lighter cousin xenon. I have studied several classes of radon- containing small molecules, many of which are related to extant xenon-containing molecules. These studies began with an...
